Wildfire

Spread my legacy like wildfire through a forest
Curse the beautiful destruction that I feel
She recites her words with sympathetic treason
As she stands atop a mountain made of steel, she says

I am anxious. I am scared. I am anything but well prepared
And I know just what I want and what I want right now is this
In my soul there is a fire that this body can't contain
Please don't let me burn away, I am meant for something more

Tears run down my face like rivers down a mountain
Curse this agonising frailty that I am
She is beautiful and I am catastrophic
As I reach to her with more than just my hands, I say

I am anxious. I am scared. I am anything but well prepared
And I know just what I want and what I want right now is this
In my soul there is a fire that this body can't contain
Please don't let me burn away, I am meant for something more

We all fight battles in ourselves
We all fight battles all the time
We all fight battles in ourselves
We all fight battles all the time
